Here are OneWorld partner organizations focusing on climate change. Want to be listed here? Join the OneWorld community.

Center for Global Development
CGD aims to reduce global poverty and inequality through research & engagement with the policy community & the public. CGD's research and policy analysis on global warming focus on climate-development linkages: assessing the stakes for developing countries in climate change and climate negotiations; using public information to reduce carbon emissions; and integrating climate change into development assistance, including cost-effective promotion of low-carbon development.

Citizens for Global Solutions
Citizens for Global Solutions is a nationwide organization that inspires America to engage the world. We are a membership organization working to build political will in the United States to achieve our vision. We do this by educating Americans about our global interdependence, communicating global concerns to public officials, and developing proposals to create, reform, and strengthen international institutions such as the United Nations.

Earth Policy Institute
Earth Policy Institute provides a vision and plan for creating an “eco-economy” — an environmentally sustainable economy.

Integrative Strategies Forum
Integrative Strategies Forum encourages and facilitates dialogue, partnerships, and integrative action strategies among networks and organizations working to build sustainable communities and societies. Recognizing the interconnections among environmental, economic, political, and social crises, the Forum strives to identify and bring attention to the kinds of systemic thinking and action taking place to address these crises and to build sustainable community — locally and globally.

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) seeks sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty. IFPRI's climate change research focuses on the assessment of, adaptation to, and mitigation of the risks climate change poses to poor people. Strategic, cost-effective, and pro-poor policy reforms that enhance human welfare in equitable and sustainable ways form the core of IFPRI's Global Change Program. The Program analyzes the complex interrelations between climate change and agricultural growth, food security, and natural resource sustainability.

Network for New Energy Choices
Network for New Energy Choices (NNEC) provides state and local governments with ideas and information on how to generate clean power from local, renewable energy resources.

Oxfam America
Oxfam seeks to create equitable solutions to the climate crisis, including greenhouse gas reduction and financial assistance for the most vulnerable communities.

SustainUS
SustainUS is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of young people advancing sustainable development and youth empowerment in the United States. Through proactive education and advocacy at the policy-making and grassroots levels, we are building a future in which all people recognize the inherent equality and interdependence of social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

School for Field Studies
The School for Field Studies combines hands-on environmental studies with scientific research to develop sustainable solutions to critical environmental problems.

Worldwatch Institute
Worldwatch is dedicated to informing policymakers and the public about emerging global problems and trends and the complex links between the world economy and its environmental support systems. Worldwatch's Energy and Climate Change Program aims to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy system based on sustainable use of renewable energy sources in concert with major energy-efficiency gains. Although many argue that such a transition will be expensive and difficult, Worldwatch research shows that it would create vast economic opportunities, spur innovation and job creation, and assist efforts to reduce poverty while providing a more resilient and sustainable global energy system. The program's particular focus is on Brazil, China, Europe, India, and the United States, which together account for 60 percent of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
